The Circle is a miniseries created for Brown University Student Television (BTV) by Daniel Byers, a Brown graduate and filmmaker. The Circle features Brown students and alums, RISD students, and professional actors. Set at Cronn University, one of the last bastions of humanity in a dystopian world, it tells the story of a group of students caught up in events that threaten to bring down Cronn's only defense, The Circle.
The world has fallen to an unstoppable horde of flesh-eating horrors known as The Wicked. Only the Great Circles, mystical barriers erected by the first Wielders, protect the last besieged remnants of humanity. But the Circle is failing, and to seek help, a young Wielder must venture Outside... and Alone.
In the explosive season finale, Cronn University stands on the edge of obliteration, and its inhabitants must face the truth about the Circle and themselves.
With Red Cloud missing and the state of the university deteriorating rapidly, Sebille seeks help from the mysterious Queen from her visions. However, to find her, Sebille must venture beyond the Circle, and through the perilous wasteland beyond...
After seeing a drug-induced divination of a beatific vision who calls herself "the Queen", the collapse of the old world, and the founding of Cronn, Sebille awakes in the clutches of the enigmatic Burrows, while a mysterious magical attack that paralyzes students baffles the Enforcers and threatens the security of the university...
In the aftermath of a breach in which Sebille's new friend, Jack, is dragged away to quarantine, she investigates the Circle's origins, and a student insurgency group, Red Cloud.
Amidst the ruins of a dystopian world, a mystical circle of power is Cronn University's only defense against the teeming horrors of the wasteland. But the Circle is faltering, and for Sebille, a newly arrived student, finding out why may be Cronn University's only hope.
